Yes indeed, it does seem that I have multiple nmh installations.
For example, I have both /usr/bin/prev, and /usr/bin/mh/prev:

$ l /usr/bin/prev /usr/bin/mh/prev
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 189416 Feb 27 22:38 /usr/bin/mh/prev*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 175400 Oct 21 2016 /usr/bin/prev*
I renamed /usr/bin/mh to something that is not in my path, and
the symptom disappeared!!! Life is good. Thank you very much!
However, when I tried to send this message, I got:
What now? send
unable to exec /usr/bin/mh/mhbuild: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/mh/mhbuild: exit 255
To send this message, I had to restore the /usr/bin/mh directory,
after which, I had:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/mhbuild /usr/bin/mh/mhbuild
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 185560 Oct 21 2016 /usr/bin/mhbuild
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283432 Feb 27 22:38 /usr/bin/mh/mhbuild
aloha, and have a great weekend!

Is it possible you have multiple nmh installations on your system? I've
seen that happen during testing, when I was using an older nmh implementation
and a newer one at the same time.
